Can we have more champions telling their story with their voices? PLEASE?

Like how Lissandra gives an encouraging speech for her followers

"We are the chosen, destined to receive the gifts of the Watchers. Our faith is tested by bitter cold and endless winter. A crucible that separates the worthy from the unworthy, purging doubt, and leaving purity behind. The others fight like neglected children, petty squabbles that will amount to nothing in the end. We have purpose: to prepare this land for new masters. The Watchers return. Our ascendance is at hand."

And how Lissandra again speaks for her past in short

"The Howling Abyss. A bottomless crevasse surrounded by an ancient fortress carved into a glacier. No one remembers who built this place. No one knows its purpose. No one but me."

"Long before AsheSquare Ashe and SejuaniSquare Sejuani, before Aurelion SolSquare magic shattered the broken peaks, before the XerathSquare desert swallowed Shurima, it was the time of The Three Sisters. We were so young back then; Avarosan profileicon Avarosa, Winter's Claw profileicon Serylda, and me, Frostguard profileicon Lissandra."

"Back then the Frozen Watchers lived here. I do not know where they came from, but I know they were powerful. They gave us gifts, shared their magic, made us immortal. They named us 'Iceborn'."

"In return, we gave them whatever they desired. This mighty fortress, a vast empire, our loyalty, these were a small price to pay. Avarosa did not see it that way. Like a spoiled child she cried out for freedom. She demanded choice. She sowed the seeds of rebellion and betrayal."

"This place is where it happened. On one side, the Frozen Watchers, on the other, Avarosa and her Iceborn horde. Many Iceborn died that day, but in the end, the Watchers fell. Avarosa drove them howling into the abyss."

"I never forgave her. I had my revenge... but that is another story."

Last speech of Lissandra, Enter the Freljord

Also Elise, speaking and luring her victims under the mask, deceiving and lying, like there is an happy ending, while it is just a miserable death.

"The Shadow Isles. . . They say they don't exist. Mythical islands haunted by ghosts and spectres. Tales to frighten children. But I know better. I have been there. When I first set foot there I immediately knew something was wrong with that place. My skin crawled and in the pit of my stomach I felt a terrible revulsion. Life didn't belong there. But I also knew... somehow, deep inside I knew that the islands welcomed me. They wanted me.

As I wandered deeper I saw death all around me. Ghostly trees, grass and flowers engulfed me in their horrifying radiance. It was so quiet and so beautiful. I passed my hand through a spectral leaf fluttering in the wind; but there was no wind. That was when I understood that death was another world and I was at its door.

Then I heard the song; the spider's song. My companion cried out in terror and fell to his knees. I embraced him. I told him he had nothing to fear. He was going to a better place. I will take them all to a better place."

This are so cool, I don't even know why Riot ever stopped.

Ah man, I miss the Lissandra monologue at the end of an ARAM win. Riot, bring that back.

"She was everything to me. But they took her. And with her, they took my kindness and my mercy.

That was their mistake.

Because now, all I've got left is a cold heart. They thrive on doubt, they feast on fear. These wretched abominations blight this world.

And every last one of them will perish. By **my hand." ** ... BAWWMMM BIDDY BAWWWMM WEEE WOOWWWWWW (Teenage me was especially hyped at this part)

I started playing League when they introduced Lissandra. Till this day she is my favourite champion in the game. Her voice gives me absolute chills. I watched that video so many times. Freljord will stay my favourite part of the lore. Now 5-6 years later I still regret not getting the Lissandra icon because I was still new and didn't know how. There is no way to get it anymore, but I only want to support my Lissandra ;-; <3

On your topic, yes I hope they do that. I already made a comment earlier stating that I would love to have more videos. or audio because so much reading is sadly not an option for me. I also liked the Annie story for example (although I'm really a fan of Annie)

Probably because it's a little on the nose to do monologues and they want to be more subtle about storytelling.

Like with Aatrox who was blasted by this community for being a shouty warrior when really if you look deeper at his voice lines while playing him you realize he's a tortured soul that uses violence as short release from his depression constantly trying to half-heartedly convince himself that he is the bad guy all the way.

I remember Elise's one... So good

Definitely.

Even after six years, Elise's speech is still good.

Kai'sa is the reason I finally turned voices off, she talks soooooo much it's annoying.
